The index packing API now accepts a `sparse` parameter to generate `PersistentSparseBitMatrix` files alongside existing dense matrices. The sibling cache automatically detects this format via an `is_multi.prsb` marker file and routes queries identically to the dense variant. A new `--sparse` CLI flag exposes the option, with tests verifying end-to-end pipeline correctness and storage equivalence.
